Airtel, ICICI and American Express fined for tele-marketing

India’s largest Cellco, Airtel and largest private bank, ICICI along with American Express have been severely fined for unsolicited tele-marketing. A complainant, who neither had any banking nor any business relationship with ICICI / American Express dragged them to the consumer court and made Airtel a respondant in the case as she suspected Airtel had shared consumer info with the two Banks.

TRAI which invites consultation paper after paper has no final word on the much awaited Do Not Disturb registry.

  1. Some sms servicing provider providing their service for few weeks, but after complain telecom service providers take 28 days to take any step. For example
    I have got a sms 20.08.2009 “Change your life. A 2 hr Power Talk by # 1 success Guru Soumitra Chaterjee. 28,31 August, 1Sep@GD Birla Kala Mandir, VidyaMandir @ 7.30 Entry Free, call 40004999/73/76”
    I complain to Vodafone on 20.08.2009, they reply me 21.08.2009 “If you get any sms from the same number after 28 days, then again complain.” Within this period the above mention sms provider will disturb me and before 28 days they will stop their connection.
